Nervous System Regulation 101 - Why work...

Nathalie Nimah
About this episode

In this episode, we’re diving into Nervous System 101 -because if you want healthier relationships with yourself and others, it starts here.

So many of the patterns we struggle with in love, work, and life are actually symptoms of nervous system dysregulation. When our body is wired for urgency, self-protection, or disconnection, it’s nearly impossible to show up in the grounded, open, connected way we long for.

Together we’ll explore:
🌿 Why nervous system regulation is the foundation of healthy relating
🌿 Why nervous system education is so important
🌿 What it means to nourish yourself with safety and joy
🌿 How to expand your capacity for discomfort and connection
🌿 Shifting the flavor of self-awareness from shame → compassion

This is your starting point for understanding why you react the way you do and how to begin building a nervous system that allows you to feel safe enough to soften, connect, and thrive.
